]. w. LAMBERT.-Mr. Jordan ". Lam
BERT Of this city, now one of the most pros.
porous and prominent citizens Of st. Louis,
is, according to the Republican of that city,
covering himself all over with glory and is
receiving the enthusiastic congratulations
of everybody on the success of the social
features of the National Travellers Conven-
ton"
At the banquet given to the drum
mers," Mr.. Henry T. Kent respond
ed to the toast, ITO the Ladies"
and requested Mr. J. w. Lambert to come
after which Mr. Randall came to the front
forward. Two commercial travellers brought
the gentleman forward, and Mr.. Randall in
splendid address presented him with O
handsome gold headed cane. MIR. Randall
stated that the merchants in the different
cities in which they had convened had con
tributed money literally for their entertain
ment, but this WAS the first time in the his
| tory of the association that merchant had
taken the initiative and left his business for
DAYS at 81 time 10 arrange for their comfort
ard pleasure. They had never been so roy
ally treated "a in st. Louis, and he, in be
half of the association, was commissioned 10
extend that evidence of their appreciation.
Mr. Lambert WAS evidently embarrassed by
lne uueA ptCleu pIeocHthtioui puI no ioP''o"
briefly, stating that he was merely the Gus
toIian of the crown jewel of st. Louis, her
hospitality, and he had merely done his
duty. He retired, and the banqueters gave
three rousing cheers for j. w. Lambert"
The Spectator, referring TO the elegance
and taste displayed in entertaining the ASSOC
! citation, says:
THE man who has this, as they say,
down to fine point is Jordan ". Lam
bert, who engineered the Inequalities ex.
tend ed to the medical convention last year
and who in the name of the citizens, took
charge of the drummers He was chairman
of the citizens committee, which consisted
of some thirty names of prominent citizens.
We say names because Mr.. Lambert was
the only one who had the work in hand.
We dare say the others did not trouble
themselves to know what he was doing.
| We received the cards to the full series OF
entertainments which he had provided, and
after looking over the six ketsfelt satisfied
that he is the only man who could satisfac
torily fill the position of master of hospital
ity, chef of festivities. or whatever else you
choose to call it. Nearly everybody in the
Blue Book received invitations to the en-
tertainment Tuesday night, it having been
his object to obtain q fashionable audience.
The travellers thanked the citizens and their
committee, but they did not know that they
owed the character of their unusual enter
tainment to the energy of one man."
